Scientific notation just expresses a number like that.

You are really not changing the number. Look! I can show it by multiplying both sides by $1=\dfrac{10^3}{10^3}$!

$1747\times\dfrac{10^3}{10^3}=\dfrac{1747}{10^3}\times 10^3=1.747\times 10^3$
And the number is the same, since I just multiplied by $1$.


To find what to multiply, moving the decimal to the left is a positive exponent, moving it to the right is a negative exponent.

It's a lot like counting.

$1747\times 10^0\=174.7\times10^1\=17.47\times10^2\=1.747\times 10^3$
See the decimal moving to the left, and the coefficient gaining $1$ each time?

Good luck with any others you have to do!
